great. journey. so much of what the police. must go. and broadcasting live direct from the heart of moscow this is our change from thomas or glad i agree with. heavy gunfire and explosions are reported in the libyan capital by the independent sources on the ground say it is all part of a nato disinformation campaign progun out the forces say they remain well armed and already defined to be on. top of the. hamas launches a rocket attacks on israel following the country's deadly shelling of gaza this comes after hamas announced its calling off its cease fire with the jewish state

meanwhile thousands take to the streets of israeli cities to remember the victims and event anger at the government. so we mark twenty years since moscow was placed under military curfew going in attempt to overthrow me how to get me hyla what the child's book who faced fierce resistance and fields probably government but nonetheless changed the course of history for the soviet union. and now long r t our special report portrait of abuse examines america's leading cause of traumatic injury to women the master of violence stay with us. of abuse to me. i can sum it up in one word the air. and i just prayed that if you didn't find me if i could just live through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that it was going to help them

or that he was going to kill me. i love this guy in corpus to be his wife into order and respect and cherish him and this is what he did to me. the one from us what's this for us the lawyer saying i can stop this tell me. it's really important to ask her are you being heard are you afraid to go back home if we go as we want to find out. she had a bag packed that was in her bedroom sharing their backpack that was in her car our assumption that she told him that he was that she was living. the portrait of abuse

is that it's extremely frightening extremely dark even in the silkily that as a community we can provide that ran home and. just one piece of the mustard but i look like both of all the parents reporters cover stories every day of domestic violence in america they shine a spotlight on famous men arrested for murder or assault of a girlfriend or wife the daily headlines reveal secrets of private people victims and abusers hidden from view until police investigate which many stories fail to name the crime as domestic violence or put the crisis in context. at least

four million women are affected by abuse every year it is a public health a democrat and we must do more to save women's lives. if you think that of for women you know. and realize that one out of every four women is being abused it's appalling domestic violence can affect people from any age range any social economic background any racial or cultural background we've seen women from asian countries who marry american man moved to this country and then were abused we've seen people from some of the middle eastern countries who are abused as part of their culture so it can hit anybody she can just beat anyone it can hit doctors lives policeman's wives

ministers wives many victims don't understand a domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual abuse. it's real it's visible all of the statistics or are not lying here they are telling us what's going on all. i always knew that i wanted to be an artist left out and i wouldn't go for somebody dr said he would ask and would want to do robust such know how to be artist when i met a man i fell in love with him all psych ok and i think i'll give love a try it was twenty five. dream it well through the military. me for two years data for one year that we live in the first debate was.

will we get weird i got pregnant amanda. and i was pregnant i was excited we're both very excited well i end. up losing my baby and it's a look right at say so i came whole until after recovery and you know for recovery after a surgery my husband picked me up and he threw me. and i don't even know what set him off wireless card for him but he picked me up and threw me across the road and owsley else that you'll say oh my god my stitches are going to rip what am i going to do it's like his soul was just empty as start to get physical with the choking. just reliving that just thinking about it it out with see clips of my life just flashing in my head you know and i thought it might have made in my brain you know what's happening to me so when i couldn't breathe casper air but just something

with it myself just made me just want to fight you know continue to live. stretches have to. i remember the night that i made the decision to leave from that moment the next morning i was in a war zone. first he ate me until i was unconscious held me down on the floor put his knees on my shoulders. and burned my marriage with a cigarette burn my arm with a cigarette. kicked me in the left ear until i was unconscious. and stripped me of my clothes and threw me in the backyard and i was twenty seven degrees below zero with the wind chill that night we were in wisconsin and it was january so why france the garage and i knew i had to hide so i found a tarp and i read myself in that and i hid in

a corner behind something and i heard him come in and he had a stick and i heard him poking around in the garage. and i just prayed that. if you didn't find me if i could sleep through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that it was going to happen was that he was going to kill me because he told me so many times and that night he promised me that he kill me and that he those kids would never see their mother my oldest son was at home at the time and he was. upstairs but he heard his father yelling and. he came down and his father just continued to attack me they threw me to the ground in the hallway and then well i was down and i was trying for myself and he started kicking me. and my son the look on my son's face was the scariest they were similar because you know we can start this down. i can remember pleading for my life as the

mother of his children please don't hurt me on the other get children they need me when i pick myself off before i realized that not only was a clean for my children but i was playing for my own and i couldn't be a mother. i wasn't existing and that was the lightbulb moment for me and i asked bad as has to change and change. a lot of people are not aware that within domestic violence many women are raped. sexual abuse is probably the least talked about for the first eighteen years of my life i was told or had a sense of i was a row i was nothing i meant nothing i was not loved so the first guy that walks by and says i love you i was at a house somebody loves me and now it was all i needed and i was so blinded by

that that i couldn't see all the other little signs that were there and then as we got into marriage and i had a child all of a sudden it happens things change when you get pregnant you have a child well i breastfed and the first thing you know i was like well those are my breasts not my sons and i'm like i'm breastfeeding him so he lives and he was threatened and felt jealous. no one gives you necessarily the rules i mean of when you get married this is the rules of being a wife in a lot of times and even now the a mindset is when you say i do you old or you supposed to perform sexual acts and bad and that as with consent and that's where the difference really lies is that. i wasn't consenting i mean i would say now and i would say now and i would say now and it didn't matter. got to where we would

call it a dead fish and can you imagine being married to somebody eighteen in your bedroom if you're telling him that ok i'm going to lay here like they're dead smelly fish and you can just open yourself and it's the idea that. how we can be another night for years. in that was what my dear she was. i love this guy and i promise to be his wife into honor and respect and shirish you know in this is what he did to me. but you can't go talk to somebody about this because they'll turn around and say well when you married here you chose him. so where do you go what do you do you. can announce that. because that's what i learned to do growing up. young lady less than twenty years of age married came in the office pregnant and i

followed her through her pregnancy and i noticed towards the end her probably the last trimester of her pregnancy she frequently would come in with bruises and every bruises or haven't she came in one day with a with a black eye and her husband was all ways right there and i would ask her if you want to talk about anything what's going on and she always had a reason why she was had these bruises. and i guess i believed her that impressor. about three to four weeks prior to her delivery date and she came into the emergency room and she was in shock from blood loss. the baby was dead and she had huge injury to her advantage probably from boots probably he had been kicking her. baby. and she did. and that taught me

a very significant lesson had i had the opportunity to have spoken to her privately . we had a very good relationship i think she would have told me if there was a problem. and for that every person i saw everything was a woman are you happy and i learned how to screen for it. i think that they're still in american society the view that what it kurz behind closed doors remains behind closed doors and what happens between two intimates a husband and a wife or a boyfriend and girlfriend really is their business the media generally reflects to some extent what is going on in society and it very much comes from this patriarchal idea of man as ruler and then in order to take control of his possessions which included house property cattle children and females spare

the rod spoil the child that also translated to women as well so essentially what happens with a lawman is she goes from being under the rule of her father that is then transferred to her husband and i think this is often why people find this somewhat humorous but it's really not humorous. when they talk back women that gossip a lot of women that just were not under very critical troll it was deemed necessary to use force. don't tell me you're sorry. absurd there's only one way to meeting taking those types of things that plays into the idea that women essentially that are being abused somehow are deserving of that abuse they have brought it on their hand picking their husbands there's a possibility of adultery they don't know when to shut up they push them too far

and so essentially they're asking for it and this plays into how in the criminal justice system we treat women who are abused which traditionally has not been very well and so there's a general kind of perception in the hierarchy of power structure of the females are still under males and that the man knows best and if the man is resorting to violence somehow it's because either it's necessary and or should brought it on herself so we see this in that scene in titanic where he tells her you will not embarrass me you are going to be my wife and you will abide by my rules for free. for x. six not yet but a lawsuit you will. time

he learned what comes first marriage or job and up with. decisions think he can't even find time to sort of form. and work or using your brain to make something out of himself his wife doesn't look after. there she competes with me and makes a man out of me and i like or i was getting a wife oh sure who it was his home is his castle he is the boss there and he rules. and the rules badly. spoiled and you have somebody that is not very empowered to do much except try to survive try to make nice try to walk on eggshells try not to make him more again and he always tells her it's your fault you made me because you do this or you didn't do that if you

get that kind of information just thrown at you especially if this is not the first time and battered but before you got into this relationship you may have had another and another relationship and certainly may have gotten back to what it looked like in your family of origin if mom did not leave her battery and your father the chances of you getting away are less the battered wife. that doesn't leave. is expressing one of the sad symptoms of being battered is that you become unowned and you really have as sense of hopelessness except to try to knock. trigger their rage at the batter. who hands off and out of his insecurity made real threats that are quite believable.

batterers tend to minimize things that sounds tend to think well it was a one time thing or she made me angry i didn't hit her that hard i you know i didn't mean to do that i also provide counseling to the women i've heard on several occasions when i hear that door closed i shiver and that's sad imagine in your own home means scared by hearing the door close and it's not a stranger coming in the door it's their partners or spouse. my name is richard i'm thirty five i've been married for almost three years now. and we have three children gather nelson of two stepchildren so told five we grew up pretty similar you know a lot of fighting

a lot of drugs alcohol so we definitely church common bond that we can to help each other see what avenues we don't need to go to i have tried to avoid the conflict saying oh it made unhappy times when growing up as a kid my parents divorced when i was five when on that relationship my dad got a relationship. for violence there physical and verbal it's not a choice i want my life a lot my life to be my life to the day we leave this earth remember him a man a member being handcuffed. to the most embarrassing moments of my life. violence not is not only physical you know it's verbal emotional i got arrested spent fourteen hours in jail never been in trouble with the law. and you know it's just a new experience said that i didn't know. what my relationship status was today at

least my family that was the biggest thing to me. what happens to my family it's what my life is about now is my family and i did nothing. this violence is a way of obtaining power and control this violence is usually accompanied by jealousy also a fear of losing power and control it is accompanied by verbal abuse and putdowns again as a way to obtain power and control as you see it's only perfectly ordinary house and he really does wreck their house and that's when he minutes networker in this this is there at the master bedroom and he went right above the bed i mean you can see how they were baby killer and everything else where they divorced at the time

they were really separated the time she just asked him to move out he got really jealous he came in the room said you're not sleeping when you're sleeping with somebody else put the hand down over the ground put a gun into the mouth of the tin a seven year old in the room screaming don't kill mommy don't kill mommy and the only reason he stopped or five minutes of that was because the kids are being hysterical and he made the mother leave the house tonight and moved out for a while but she has injuries even of that down under the one here on the ground she was done yes i mean he had the gun execution style right in front of children in the mouth. strangulation relational is exactly where the thumb mark went in yet again and come out in her mouth in front of the elizabeth. if she leaves that is not necessarily going to make the violence go away many times leaving will cause an increase in the violence because again why do we have to violence it's power and control if hit the victim lives now that is a slap in the face to power and control.

we had three children our mental i was an attorney she was a very brilliant girl tremendous a. c.t.m. are varied and there are three and a very kind caring person he was a place when they were married close to three years her friends told me they dragged around by her hair so any bruises on her head you know would not be visible and a body bruise would not it isn't one morning rant five thirty six thirty in the morning got a phone call and we were in said bonnie is no longer with us and we thought. a lot there's been a car accident he said there's there's some sort of problem here bonnie shot herself as far as we now she had a bag packed that was in her bedroom she had another bag packed that was in her car

our assumption is she told him that she was leaving him and he shot her and then wiped the face france off the gun obviously money did not choose. who and did in camera one said that his wife each other's. voices in the back or. she was nine and she was calling for one to help and as far as a losing a child that's devastating but even more so was to say my parents. lose a grand on. that. i watched them both of them in the. air that he had been arrested he was subsequently released. and was not charged with murder d.a.

said they didn't have enough evidence to indict him the judge said it's in my court. so we did get him and when we first found out about the fact that she was abused and had been abused for three years we were stamped because domestic violence doesn't happen to people like us kids or college educations and this happens to poor people. this doesn't happen to two attorneys to doctors wives this type of thing kirk her comment on on domestic violence would be that it's a free. please

. look if. it. if you. think i took your thoughts toward uppercut. this is true still keeps its secrets the balance time some feel listening to the soviet files on oxy some length. hands born. closer. to. the language of approach. luck the future

flights. large sea types to the max pair show. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not to say that song so are some upbeat honest for his crimes song is being punished no rational person can deny that someone has been punished is been punished and will be punished. as ours must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is a punishment this is not. imagine. that it's. because we've been immersed know me whatsoever. how i didn't come here justice. and heard the first. stop for this man. violent martin.

and i that is now.
